 Actually, software emulation is developed by Shlomo Pongratz, not me. I do some basic testing and i
would say that it works fine. The last known problem for me is that Peter Maydell doesn't want to
review the huge .c file with SW GICv3 implementation:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg00634.html And i don't have time to take
this over from Shlomo, because actually this is out of scope of my project.
 Recently Shlomo told that he will continue to work on it. We agreed during the discussion that he
will handle all isues related to the emulation itself, while my job is integration + KVM. So my next
series come without TCG part.
